WEDNESDAY, JULY 17 – 10 PM
MONDAY, JULY 29 – 7:30 PM
FROM GULF TO GULF TO GULF presents an alternative world of maritime shipping, made in collaboration between Mumbai based artist group CAMP and a littoral, muslim seafaring society on the Gulf of Kutch in the state of Gujarat.
Assembled from a collection of videos shot on a wide range of formats, the film, structured as a season on the sea, tells a year in the life of shipping break-bulk cargo in the Western Indian Ocean between the gulfs of the Persia, Aden and Kutch and the Red Sea, where men sail on large community and family-made wooden vessels as they encounter storms, sea creatures, and fellow boats and sailors. The result is an ebullient adventure and political exercise that profiles the humor, ingenuity, and desires of a precarious workforce as they conduct a vital form of free trade independent of the shipping container, one that cuts through the twin phenomena of sanctions and piracy. It is also a musical.
“CAMP’s film does not seek to map the network but a network –a privately linked sub-culture of sharing. And yet the ephemeral existence of this media –its precarious life between phones and onboard bluetooth connections– renders CAMP’s film an inadvertent archive of sorts, preserving these videos before they are deleted or lost.” –Leo Goldsmith
Members of CAMP will be tele-present for a virtual Q&A following the 7:30pm screening on Saturday, July 13th.
